Can you sex these chicks?

Wow, I was sure I’d end up with another rooster lol. Thank you all for help and I’m very happy they are all girls so I can keep them and see what they look like all grown up!

All three are Easter Egger pullets. On the leghorn mix the pattern is sex-specific. On all three the combs and feathering all look female.
 
Comb development and lack of even a hint of sickle-feathers over the saddle were my cues, and these girls have slender legs.
Pullets tend to have very rounded, evenly spaced tail feathers and their combs typically 'pink up' (get much more red) within the month just prior to her starting to lay eggs. If memory serves me, Easter Eggers (et al) start laying somewhere around 6 to 8 months... but the cockerels 'pink up' between 6 and 8 WEEKS. A pink, well developing comb with thick legs at the two-month mark almost always means boys.
 
Sorry got caught up in school lol. So the first one is the full bred americana chicken. We hatched him/her a while ago but I took pictures as him/her grew so here they are:

I don’t have that many pictures of the other two but here are the mixes (orange one circled in red is buff mix and gray one circled in green is brown leghorn mix) (in some pictures they aren’t circled)
They are both 2 1/2 months old

Pullets
So when sexing them, dose the feathers on there wings not matter? Since they are Americana’s or mixes with Americana in them?
Can you post a picture of the father?
